The real estate market constantly evolves, but rarely have we seen such a significant shift as what's happening right now in Western North Carolina. This week, we dive into the remarkable surge of inventory hitting Henderson County – 53 new listings in just the first week of April, bringing our total active single-family homes to 460. That's a substantial jump from our typical 400-home inventory level.
What's particularly fascinating is the parallel trend of price adjustments, with 54 price reductions occurring simultaneously. Despite these changes, average home prices remain surprisingly stable at around $550,000, demonstrating the underlying strength of our market even amid economic uncertainty. Most telling: one-third of all homes sold in our area continue to be purchased with cash, insulating many transactions from interest rate concerns.
The psychology behind housing decisions fascinates me, and I share a profound insight that recently stopped me in my tracks: "People don't want to live longer, they want more memories." This perspective transforms how we might approach homeownership. Your dream house – the one that once brought immense joy – can eventually become a burden that limits your freedom to create those meaningful experiences that truly enrich your life.
We're witnessing this transition with many clients who find themselves asking hard questions about their living situations. When the maintenance, size, or location of your home no longer serves your current life goals, what's keeping you there? Sometimes the most beautiful gift we can give ourselves is permission to rightsize our lives to match our true priorities – whether that means downsizing, relocating closer to family, or finding a home that requires less of your precious time and resources.
If you're contemplating such a change or simply curious about your options in today's shifting market, the George Real Estate Group brings over 100 years of combined experience to help provide clarity without pressure. Call us at 828-393-0134 or visit one of our upcoming open houses in Flat Rock to continue the conversation. After all, your environment profoundly impacts your well-being – shouldn't it support the life you truly want to live?

You can give us a call at828-393-0134, 828-393-0134.
I want to say thank you.
It's been incredible.
I don't think I acknowledge itas much as I should the phone
calls we get from our listenersand it's friends of listeners.
And we know radio works and weknow we're so grateful for the
(02:52):
people that call in andfrequently, you know, we're
always asking well, whorecommended us?
How did you find us?
Where did you get connectedwith us?
And frequently it's the radio.
So we're grateful for our radiolisteners and friends of the
radio.
So again, we know the messageis getting out and again we're
so enthusiastic and grateful toserve our community through real
(03:15):
estate.
And real estate is, you know, weknow real estate happens around
life.
It can really be a reallybeautiful celebration while
you're buying or selling, reallybe a really beautiful
celebration while you're buyingor selling.
And then we've also, conversely, we walk alongside during the
very somber moments, thechallenging moments.
It could be a job loss or adeath or a divorce.
It could be, you know, justreal life happens and so we
(03:38):
don't take it lightly andwhether it's you know, whatever
the situation is positive orchallenging.
We are grateful to help provideclarity and information so you
can decide what's right for youand it could be your primary
home.
You're thinking of buying orselling?
We also work regularly withinvestors and their real estate
(03:59):
portfolio.
Maybe you're considering a 1031exchange and I'll share a little
bit more about the 1031exchange a little bit later in
the program.
It's an opportunity to bestrategic with your tax strategy
in regards to your investmentproperty, whether it's a rental
you might have or commercialproperty or even land that you
have.
(04:19):
You're considering selling.
There's options to considerwhen you're selling the property
and the tax implications onthat.
Certainly, there's implicationson your primary home.
That can be beautiful optionswith your primary home, whether
if you've lived in the home, twoout of a five-year period, it
could be.
If you're an individual, it'sthe first, $250,000 is tax-free
(04:42):
and then if you're married, it's$500,000.
Again, there's a lot of nuancesto the buying and selling and
again we walk alongside thatwith our clients.
And again, you can call usdirectly at 828-393-0134.
Find us online atrealestatebygregcom.
You can also follow us onsocial media.
That's where we post all of ouropen houses and new listings
(05:02):
and again can connect with usand follow us on Facebook or
Instagram.
We also podcast all of ourradio shows.
We've been podcasting for acouple of years now.
We've been doing the radioprogram.
My first radio program actuallystarted in 2011, when the
market was actually at its worst.
I mean, our tagline waspositive news about the real
(05:22):
estate market.
And the thing is again theeconomy, the interest rates,
whatever's going on, the realestate market continues because
it's such an essential part ofour lives and does it adjust and
change?
Of course, does it lookdifferent.
I remember very early on, whenI got my real estate license,
the demand it's so fascinating,the things you remember.
(05:43):
But in 2005, when I got my realestate broker's license, the
internet was being adopted, in asense that the internet was not
that old in the sense of how itwas affecting real estate, but
the old ways of doing things theprint advertising, the
newspaper advertising, howthings were being marketed.
(06:04):
And again, the early adoptionthat we embraced of the internet
marketing and the professionalphotography on every listing and
the social media, the thingsthat we did, the early adoption
that we did to get ahead of youknow, and again, the
ever-changing industry.
You know, in the real estate,it's fascinating.
And then the market, the prices, the interest rates.
(06:24):
It's so the stories are thesame in the real estate it's
fascinating.
And then the market, the prices, the interest rates.
So the stories are the same inthe sense of, like you know,
life happens, therefore realestate happens, and so you know.
If you're curious about whatyour home is worth, you know, do
you sell before you buy?
Do you buy before you sell?
What do you need to do?
Again, there's options toconsider and that's where we
provide clarity and information.
So give us a call.
828-393-0134.
(06:46):
Follow us on social media.
Follow us on your favoritepodcast platform.
We'd love to connect with youor just stop by our office In
the last seven days in HendersonCounty.
Now here we go.
This is the first week of April.
This is pretty common.
We had a massive uptick in newlistings and it's true here,
(07:07):
locally 53 new listings in thefirst seven days of April
listings in the first seven daysof April.
There's also this is alsointeresting too 54 price drops.
And when you look at the totalnumber of single family homes on
the market in Henderson County,we're at 460 single family
(07:28):
homes on the market in HendersonCounty and over the last 12
months we're averaging some 124homes a month selling over the
last 12 months, which, if youlook at really the last 24
months, that number's beenholding steady.
I mean we had a significantdrop.
Again, from context, you lookat 2021, 2022, and then the 2023
and 2024, there's been thisgradual decline in the number of
(07:51):
single family homes selling,but it does seem to have
plateaued at about 124single-family homes a month
selling.
But currently there's 460active single-family homes in
the market.
So that was a bit of a jump.
But just in the last seven days, 53 new listings.
There were, by the way, 32homes that went under contract.
(08:16):
32 homes went under contract inthe last seven days and then 34
homes closed.
Now 34 homes closed seems onthe lower side of things, but
it's also the first week of themonth.
We typically see more homesselling and closing.
A lot of people tend to closetowards the end of the month.
So again, just a snapshot ofwhat's going on.
But we do see this increasednumber of price reductions.
(08:40):
The right price will cause aproperty to sell and we've
experienced that.
Again, as a seller, you get todecide and try out and test out
any price you want, butultimately the market tells you
what your home is worth.
The average single-family homeprice has been holding steady
and it's been hovering aroundthe $550 single-family home
average close price.
(09:01):
This is single-family, just toclarify.
I'm not including condos ortownhomes or land.
It's just looking atsingle-family homes, average
price and technically well,specifically it's at $548 and
change we still see about one inthree single-family homes sold
over the last 12 months werepurchased with cash and over
(09:23):
half of the homes days on marketwere sold in the first 30 days.
But the days on market isincreasing.
Of the 14, almost 1,500 homessold in the last 12 months,
there were over 100 homes thattook over a year to sell.
And again there's this ebb andflow and so your price point,
(09:50):
your condition, your location Imean there's so many factors
that go into play with buyingand selling and so we take a
very candid approach and look atyour situation, your home, your
location, your circumstances.
We take a fresh approach.
It's an objective approach andyou want to hear.
You know, maybe you do, maybeyou don't, but we're going to if
you invite us and give us theopportunity to interview for the
job.
We're going to shoot straightwith you.
(10:11):
We're going to now.
Obviously there's so much careand concern that we bring to the
table because we know realestate is again, it happens
around life and it's not justnumbers.
And, by the way, it's alwaystime versus money.
It's.
Every seller has to decidebetween time and money, but
there is a price that will causethe home to sell, based on the
(10:31):
location and the condition and,again, the market is the market.
So we provide all thisinformation so you as a buyer or
seller can make a decision forwhat's right for you.
We have a number.
We had a.
Well, last week we had two openhouses and a lot of activity,
which is we are so grateful forall the activity.
(10:53):
We are also continuing to haveopen houses.
We have an open house thisSunday.
We have actually two openhouses this Sunday in Flat Rock,
one at 140 Old Mill Road.
In Flat Rock.
It's at the Millhouse Lodge,which is a unique conversion.
It was a lodge.
It was a lodge.
You could stay there nightly.
(11:14):
They condominiumized them.
It was a lodge.
It was a lodge.

it also is just on a very quietstreet.
(12:45):

to see the details, want to seethe photos and again, the open
(16:32):
houses.
But we are so grateful and weare so busy with the
opportunities helping ourclients navigate through the
buying and selling of theirproperties.
This market is the market, themarket's the market, the
interest rates are the interestrates.
But we've had the privilege towalk alongside with our clients
navigating through the buyingand selling process.
Give us a call 828-393-0134.
(16:55):
We have a short break coming up, so stay tuned in.
We have more information toshare with you about the local
real estate market, the nationalmarket.
But again, grateful to be herewith you.
You're listening to the GeorgeReal Estate Group radio
broadcast here in the queueevery Monday morning.
Good morning and welcome backto the Georgia Real Estate Group
(17:15):
live radio broadcast here inthe queue every Monday morning.
So grateful to be here with you.
And, again, we're so gratefulfor our listeners and the people
that call in each week sayingwe've heard you on the radio and
we want to get some help withour home.
And we're grateful and we'rehaving meetings every week with
listeners that have reached outand said, hey, we want to.
We're thinking about buying,selling, we're curious about
what our options are and we'reso grateful for those
(17:37):
conversations when you do call.
So, thank you so much.
The market is the market.
The interest rates are theinterest rates.
I mean there is some discussionabout what's going to happen
with the mortgage rates.
I mean it very potentiallycould again, if the feds choose
to drop their interest rates inlight of the economic
(17:58):
environment we're in, that couldhave a bring down the mortgage
rates.
There are also again, we're notfocused on negative things, but
again people are certainlythrowing around the word
recession, but in regards tohousing prices, a recession does
not mean falling prices.
In fact, in four of the lastsix recessions, home prices
(18:23):
actually went up.
You can see this on one of ourmore recent blog posts.
Home prices don't mean arecession, does not mean home
prices will fall.
Four of the last six recessions, home prices actually went up
and actually if the interestrates go down, that could cause
our prices to go up.
Also, it's always in regards tosupply and demand, they are
(18:45):
saying this time of year.
Of course, the lack of homesfor sale over the last few years
can cause challenges.
Obviously that's what's causedthe prices to go up when you
have low inventory and stillstrong demand.
But here's the interestingthing they're saying the chief
economist of Redfin said thisnow is the best time to buy.
(19:06):
In the last two years, mortgagerates are comparable to what
they were two years ago andprices remain high.
However, there's significantlymore inventory, and that's true
even here locally.
Just in the last seven days Isaid there was 50-plus new homes
that hit the market.
So there is more inventory onthe market right now 460 active
(19:29):
single-family homes on themarket in Henderson County I
mean we've been hovering reallyaround 400.
To have that type of jump issignificant.
So there's more inventory toconsider for our buyers.
And so when you're hunting fora house.
I mean having more inventoryand nationally nationally there
(19:51):
was more homes coming on themarket, in a sense,
significantly more homes comingon the market, since
significantly more homes went onthe market.
According to Realtorcom, newlistings in March were 10%
higher than last year, making itthe biggest March for new
listings since 2021.
So, again, more options createmore opportunities for buyers
(20:14):
and sellers and again, the homescoming onto the market might be
what you're looking for.
Again, your particular needs andwhat you're looking for.
Do you need to sell before youbuy?
Do you buy before you sell?
I mean, there's so many thingsthat go into consideration when
you're going through thatprocess.
And you can call us.
You can give us a call at828-393-0134, 828-393-0134.
(20:39):
We'd love to have theconversation with you.
And again, just whether you'rethinking of downsizing or
upsizing or rightsizing, ormaybe you're moving into a
retirement community, therecould be so many reasons why
you're thinking of buying orselling or moving closer to
family.
North Carolina tends to be oneof the top different reports say
(20:59):
it could be in the top three ortop five of migration of people
coming in, and I think that'sgoing to continue to happen, but
occasionally we do have clientsthat are moving to other states
because they need, for whateverreason again, it could be a job
transfer, it could be gettingcloser to grandkids there's a
lot of reasons why people buyand sell houses.
(21:20):
I think that, regardless ofwhether we're having the
conversation about real estateor whether it's about life I
heard a fascinating quote overthe weekend.
Jimmy Carr said this peopledon't want to live longer, they
want more memories.
And really, how do you makemore memories?
Well, it's doing novel,interesting things.
(21:42):
But again, the psychology thatwe have about life and what life
means, and time.
And so we don't crave time, wecrave meaningful time.
And so when people say theywish they had more time, you
know we crave meaningful time.
And so you know, when peoplesay they wish they had more time
, you know they don't usuallymean more hours at a desk or
more days in the routine.
(22:03):
They mean more moments thatmatter, you know, more belly
laughs, more sunsets, more hugs,more adventures, more firsts.
And that quote that Carr saidjust points out that what we're
really seeking is depth, notduration, and so our brain is
(22:23):
wired to encode new andemotionally charged experiences
more vividly than repetitiveones, and so that's why
childhood summers feel so longin the hindsight.
There were so many firsts.
As adults, our routines oftencompress our sense of time.
I've heard it said maybe take adifferent ride home from the
(22:45):
grocery store if you want timeto feel longer, because we tend
to drive the same way to work.
We tend to drive the same wayto church.
We tend to drive the same wayto church.
We tend to drive the same wayto.
You know the grocery store.
But you know you can change upyour experience by going a
different way, and that's whytraveling again we're so happy
(23:08):
for Mark and Paige to betraveling, because it's, you
know, new experiences.
It's a different routine, it'sa different, you know it creates
these memories and lastingmemories.
And so the other thing is tooliving fully is a choice.
The mindset shifts the focusfrom how long you'll live to how
(23:29):
awake you are while living.
You can live a life, a longlife full of forgetful days, or
a shorter life bursting withunforgettable moments.
And so you know, choose novelty, choose growth, choose
connection is like choosingcolor over grace scale.
(23:50):
So how do you create morememories?
Again, you can say yes to newexperiences.
Maybe it's something as smallas trying a new food or hobby.
Also, I'm a big advocate oftravel.
Maybe go get lunch at the nexttown over, do something
different, of course, be present, put the phone down and feel
(24:12):
the moment and then connectdeeply.
I mean great conversationsoften become core memories and
then finally challenge yourself,new accomplishments stick with
you.
So, again, it's this mindsetthat we have.
Again, the richness of ourmemories often spills into how
(24:32):
we're remembered by others.
So again, the quote reallystruck a chord with me.
People don't want to livelonger, they want more memories.
And so, you know, go dosomething different, do
something interesting, connectwith somebody, say hello, check
in, go try a different ride home.
Today, again, it's theseexperiences that we have that
(24:55):
create these memories in ourexperiences that we have.
So, again, so fascinating.
I enjoyed listening todifferent podcasts, reading
different books where I hearthese things.
But again, be kind to yourself,be grateful, practice gratitude
.
And again, we can't control thethings that happen to us, but
we can control our reaction andour response to it.
(25:17):
You know the thing is about thereal estate market.
You know the interest rates arethe interest rates, the prices
of homes are the prices of homesand really you know when people
are considering buying orselling real estate.
It's very rarely because of theprices of the homes or the
economy.
It's usually some catalyst,some life event and the thing is
(25:37):
you're in charge.
You get to decide what yourlife looks like.
You're in charge of what youwant to do with your life, where
you want to live, what you wantto be, what you want to
consider.
I also heard recently if you hadto decide between the 10
million beach house on the beachor and by the way, and it comes
(25:59):
with all the stresses of thatlife which you might not think
about because we all think about, oh, the 10 million beach house
sounds so great, but you don'trealize the burden that it
actually comes with Versus, ifyou were in an apartment with
all your bills paid, no debt,and again, if you had everything
(26:22):
you needed, and again living inan apartment but you were
fulfilled, you were happy Again.
If you had to really choosebetween those two things, I
think if we're honest withourselves, again it's not about
where we live, but it's aboutthe peace of mind that comes
with our life and what we'redoing with our lives, but the
internal gratitude, the internalhappiness that we can choose
(26:45):
and, again, deciding what we dowith our life and the impact,
and again, it's not.
You know, certainly our homesare so important, but again
there does we hear this, we livethis all the time.
We have the conversations wherethe home that was your dream,
the home that would brought somuch joy, you know, as life goes
on, the home in a lot of casesends up becoming a burden, and
(27:08):
it's.
And if you're at that point inyour life where the home is now
a burden, you know, to what endare you keeping the home?
To what end does it make sense?
Again, you get to decide whatyour life looks like, and it's
not about keeping up with theJoneses per se.
But again, if your home is nolonger serving you in the way
that you need it to, and if it'sbecome a burden versus the joy,
(27:31):
and at some point there's atipping point where, hey, it's
not worth it to keep the bighome anymore, we have those real
honest conversations and again,getting into a home that better
serves your needs, or maybegetting into a situation where,
hey, I want the freedom totravel, I want the freedom to go
enjoy my life, I want thefreedom to spend more time with
my grandchildren, I want thetime now.
(27:54):
Time is so important, but again, it's not about the time, it's
the quality of the time andmeaningful time.
And so, again, we all get todecide how we want to live our
lives.
And at some point, the homesagain, they might have
originally been such a joyfulblessing to your life, but at
(28:14):
some point maybe your home hasshifted into a burden.
And that's just being reallyreal and honest.
And again, there's no judgment.
We're just here to provideinformation and clarity.
Again, if you get to that pointand you're saying, hey, I need
to have an honest conversationwith myself, and part of that is
, you know, hey, having anhonest conversation about you
know, maybe I need to change myenvironment.
(28:34):
This is so interesting too.
Your environment impacts your.
Well, we know this.
Maybe we're not conscious ofthis, but your environment
impacts your world so much, somuch so.
And so they, and there's somany studies on how our
environment impacts our lives.
And so, if your environment'snot supporting your life and
(28:55):
what you want your life to looklike, I mean, again, consider
what it looks like to changewhat your environment looks like
.
And again, these are just somecandid conversations, of course,
with the care and concern thatwe have and we're grateful.

If the story I shared with youstopped you in your tracks,
(29:59):
you're not alone.
People have been asking whathappened next.
Dr Robbins car had plunged intoa freezing river and as a
teenager, underwater anddisoriented, she remembered her
survival tip blow bubbles andfollow them.
They will rise to the surface.
She did, but when she reachedthe top, expecting air, she
(30:22):
slammed into solid ice, out ofbreath and nearly out of
strength.
She kept moving, desperatelysearching for a break, and just
when she thought she couldn't goon, a stranger appeared and
pulled her to safety.

(01:26):
.
We have some wonderfulinventory and listings.

It's been incredible.
I don't think I acknowledge itas much as I should the phone
calls we get from our listenersand it's friends of listeners.
And we know radio works and weknow we're so grateful for the
(02:52):
people that call in andfrequently, you know, we're
always asking well, whorecommended us?
How did you find us?
Where did you get connectedwith us?
And frequently it's the radio.
So we're grateful for our radiolisteners and friends of the
radio.
So again, we know the messageis getting out and again we're
so enthusiastic and grateful toserve our community through real
(03:15):
estate.
And real estate is, you know, weknow real estate happens around
life.
It can really be a reallybeautiful celebration while
you're buying or selling, reallybe a really beautiful
celebration while you're buyingor selling.
And then we've also, conversely, we walk alongside during the
very somber moments, thechallenging moments.
It could be a job loss or adeath or a divorce.
It could be, you know, justreal life happens and so we
(03:38):
don't take it lightly andwhether it's you know, whatever
the situation is positive orchallenging.
We are grateful to help provideclarity and information so you
can decide what's right for youand it could be your primary
home.
You're thinking of buying orselling?
We also work regularly withinvestors and their real estate
(03:59):
portfolio.
Maybe you're considering a 1031exchange and I'll share a little
bit more about the 1031exchange a little bit later in
the program.
It's an opportunity to bestrategic with your tax strategy
in regards to your investmentproperty, whether it's a rental
you might have or commercialproperty or even land that you
have.
(04:19):
You're considering selling.
There's options to considerwhen you're selling the property
and the tax implications onthat.
Certainly, there's implicationson your primary home.
That can be beautiful optionswith your primary home, whether
if you've lived in the home, twoout of a five-year period, it
could be.
If you're an individual, it'sthe first, $250,000 is tax-free
(04:42):
and then if you're married, it's$500,000.
Again, there's a lot of nuancesto the buying and selling and
again we walk alongside thatwith our clients.
And again, you can call usdirectly at 828-393-0134.
Find us online atrealestatebygregcom.
You can also follow us onsocial media.
That's where we post all of ouropen houses and new listings
(05:02):
and again can connect with usand follow us on Facebook or
Instagram.
We also podcast all of ourradio shows.
We've been podcasting for acouple of years now.
We've been doing the radioprogram.
My first radio program actuallystarted in 2011, when the
market was actually at its worst.
I mean, our tagline waspositive news about the real
(05:22):
estate market.
And the thing is again theeconomy, the interest rates,
whatever's going on, the realestate market continues because
it's such an essential part ofour lives and does it adjust and
change?
Of course, does it lookdifferent.
I remember very early on, whenI got my real estate license,
the demand it's so fascinating,the things you remember.
(05:43):
But in 2005, when I got my realestate broker's license, the
internet was being adopted, in asense that the internet was not
that old in the sense of how itwas affecting real estate, but
the old ways of doing things theprint advertising, the
newspaper advertising, howthings were being marketed.
(06:04):
And again, the early adoptionthat we embraced of the internet
marketing and the professionalphotography on every listing and
the social media, the thingsthat we did, the early adoption
that we did to get ahead of youknow, and again, the
ever-changing industry.
You know, in the real estate,it's fascinating.
And then the market, the prices, the interest rates.
(06:24):
It's so the stories are thesame in the real estate it's
fascinating.
And then the market, the prices, the interest rates.
So the stories are the same inthe sense of, like you know,
life happens, therefore realestate happens, and so you know.
If you're curious about whatyour home is worth, you know, do
you sell before you buy?
Do you buy before you sell?
What do you need to do?
Again, there's options toconsider and that's where we
provide clarity and information.
So give us a call.
828-393-0134.
(06:46):
Follow us on social media.
Follow us on your favoritepodcast platform.
We'd love to connect with youor just stop by our office In
the last seven days in HendersonCounty.
Now here we go.
This is the first week of April.
This is pretty common.
We had a massive uptick in newlistings and it's true here,
(07:07):
locally 53 new listings in thefirst seven days of April
listings in the first seven daysof April.
There's also this is alsointeresting too 54 price drops.
And when you look at the totalnumber of single family homes on
the market in Henderson County,we're at 460 single family
(07:28):
homes on the market in HendersonCounty and over the last 12
months we're averaging some 124homes a month selling over the
last 12 months, which, if youlook at really the last 24
months, that number's beenholding steady.
I mean we had a significantdrop.
Again, from context, you lookat 2021, 2022, and then the 2023
and 2024, there's been thisgradual decline in the number of
(07:51):
single family homes selling,but it does seem to have
plateaued at about 124single-family homes a month
selling.
But currently there's 460active single-family homes in
the market.
So that was a bit of a jump.
But just in the last seven days, 53 new listings.
There were, by the way, 32homes that went under contract.
(08:16):
32 homes went under contract inthe last seven days and then 34
homes closed.
Now 34 homes closed seems onthe lower side of things, but
it's also the first week of themonth.
We typically see more homesselling and closing.
A lot of people tend to closetowards the end of the month.
So again, just a snapshot ofwhat's going on.
But we do see this increasednumber of price reductions.
(08:40):
The right price will cause aproperty to sell and we've
experienced that.
Again, as a seller, you get todecide and try out and test out
any price you want, butultimately the market tells you
what your home is worth.
The average single-family homeprice has been holding steady
and it's been hovering aroundthe $550 single-family home
average close price.
(09:01):
This is single-family, just toclarify.
I'm not including condos ortownhomes or land.
It's just looking atsingle-family homes, average
price and technically well,specifically it's at $548 and
change we still see about one inthree single-family homes sold
over the last 12 months werepurchased with cash and over
(09:23):
half of the homes days on marketwere sold in the first 30 days.
But the days on market isincreasing.
Of the 14, almost 1,500 homessold in the last 12 months,
there were over 100 homes thattook over a year to sell.
And again there's this ebb andflow and so your price point,
(09:50):
your condition, your location Imean there's so many factors
that go into play with buyingand selling and so we take a
very candid approach and look atyour situation, your home, your
location, your circumstances.
We take a fresh approach.
It's an objective approach andyou want to hear.
You know, maybe you do, maybeyou don't, but we're going to if
you invite us and give us theopportunity to interview for the
job.
We're going to shoot straightwith you.
(10:11):
We're going to now.
Obviously there's so much careand concern that we bring to the
table because we know realestate is again, it happens
around life and it's not justnumbers.
And, by the way, it's alwaystime versus money.
It's.
Every seller has to decidebetween time and money, but
there is a price that will causethe home to sell, based on the
(10:31):
location and the condition and,again, the market is the market.
So we provide all thisinformation so you as a buyer or
seller can make a decision forwhat's right for you.
We have a number.
We had a.
Well, last week we had two openhouses and a lot of activity,
which is we are so grateful forall the activity.
(10:53):
We are also continuing to haveopen houses.
We have an open house thisSunday.
We have actually two openhouses this Sunday in Flat Rock,
one at 140 Old Mill Road.
In Flat Rock.
It's at the Millhouse Lodge,which is a unique conversion.
It was a lodge.
It was a lodge.
You could stay there nightly.
(11:14):
They condominiumized them.
It was a lodge.
It was a lodge.
You could stay there nightly.
They condominiumized them.
It's a unique setup.
It's right across the streetfrom Bon Clarkin, so it's a
condo, and this particular condois a one-bedroom, one-bath
condo efficiency.
It's less than 400 square feetbut it looks right over the lake
(11:38):
.
It is a one-of-a-kindfreestanding and this is the
interesting thing.
This particular unit isfreestanding studio condo on the
lake in beautiful historic FlatRock and so within the
millhouse lodge, and it's asmall mountain community where
the historic millhouse, with thewaterfall and the stream, it
has a private patio and entranceof the private lake.

So, again, that's one of thelistings that we have.
We had a very successful openhouse yesterday at 19 Robert E

Again, our office is in FlatRock, so it tends to happen that
we have a lot of listings inFlat Rock.
Our Flat Rock friends call usfrequently to sell their
properties.
This property is for $449,three bedrooms.
It's a brick ranch with apartially finished basement and
it also is just on a very quietstreet.
(12:45):
I think we all know some peoplethat live on Robert E Lee.
It's a great neighborhood,great location, great property
there in Flat Rock and it's aone-level living.
You also have the lower levelwhich, if you want for more
storage or hosting more people,has a beautiful carport.

You're listening to the GeorgeReal Estate Group live radio
(15:24):
broadcast here in the queueevery Monday morning, again
sharing with you positive newsabout our local real estate
market.
What is the market?
And we are going to talk aboutwhat's happening in the market
nationally and also locally.
And then one more open house iscoming, sunday, april 13th from

some of our inventory andlistings.
Of course you can go torealestatebygregcom if you want
to see the details, want to seethe photos and again, the open
(16:32):
houses.
But we are so grateful and weare so busy with the
opportunities helping ourclients navigate through the
buying and selling of theirproperties.
This market is the market, themarket's the market, the
interest rates are the interestrates.
But we've had the privilege towalk alongside with our clients
navigating through the buyingand selling process.
Give us a call 828-393-0134.
(16:55):
We have a short break coming up, so stay tuned in.
We have more information toshare with you about the local
real estate market, the nationalmarket.
But again, grateful to be herewith you.
You're listening to the GeorgeReal Estate Group radio
broadcast here in the queueevery Monday morning.
Good morning and welcome backto the Georgia Real Estate Group
(17:15):
live radio broadcast here inthe queue every Monday morning.
So grateful to be here with you.
And, again, we're so gratefulfor our listeners and the people
that call in each week sayingwe've heard you on the radio and
we want to get some help withour home.
And we're grateful and we'rehaving meetings every week with
listeners that have reached outand said, hey, we want to.
We're thinking about buying,selling, we're curious about
what our options are and we'reso grateful for those
(17:37):
conversations when you do call.
So, thank you so much.
The market is the market.
The interest rates are theinterest rates.
I mean there is some discussionabout what's going to happen
with the mortgage rates.
I mean it very potentiallycould again, if the feds choose
to drop their interest rates inlight of the economic
(17:58):
environment we're in, that couldhave a bring down the mortgage
rates.
There are also again, we're notfocused on negative things, but
again people are certainlythrowing around the word
recession, but in regards tohousing prices, a recession does
not mean falling prices.
In fact, in four of the lastsix recessions, home prices
(18:23):
actually went up.
You can see this on one of ourmore recent blog posts.
Home prices don't mean arecession, does not mean home
prices will fall.
Four of the last six recessions, home prices actually went up
and actually if the interestrates go down, that could cause
our prices to go up.
Also, it's always in regards tosupply and demand, they are
(18:45):
saying this time of year.
Of course, the lack of homesfor sale over the last few years
can cause challenges.
Obviously that's what's causedthe prices to go up when you
have low inventory and stillstrong demand.
But here's the interestingthing they're saying the chief
economist of Redfin said thisnow is the best time to buy.
(19:06):
In the last two years, mortgagerates are comparable to what
they were two years ago andprices remain high.
However, there's significantlymore inventory, and that's true
even here locally.
Just in the last seven days Isaid there was 50-plus new homes
that hit the market.
So there is more inventory onthe market right now 460 active
(19:29):
single-family homes on themarket in Henderson County I
mean we've been hovering reallyaround 400.
To have that type of jump issignificant.
So there's more inventory toconsider for our buyers.
And so when you're hunting fora house.
I mean having more inventoryand nationally nationally there
(19:51):
was more homes coming on themarket, in a sense,
significantly more homes comingon the market, since
significantly more homes went onthe market.
According to Realtorcom, newlistings in March were 10%
higher than last year, making itthe biggest March for new
listings since 2021.
So, again, more options createmore opportunities for buyers
(20:14):
and sellers and again, the homescoming onto the market might be
what you're looking for.
Again, your particular needs andwhat you're looking for.
Do you need to sell before youbuy?
Do you buy before you sell?
I mean, there's so many thingsthat go into consideration when
you're going through thatprocess.
And you can call us.
You can give us a call at828-393-0134, 828-393-0134.
(20:39):
We'd love to have theconversation with you.
And again, just whether you'rethinking of downsizing or
upsizing or rightsizing, ormaybe you're moving into a
retirement community, therecould be so many reasons why
you're thinking of buying orselling or moving closer to
family.
North Carolina tends to be oneof the top different reports say
(20:59):
it could be in the top three ortop five of migration of people
coming in, and I think that'sgoing to continue to happen, but
occasionally we do have clientsthat are moving to other states
because they need, for whateverreason again, it could be a job
transfer, it could be gettingcloser to grandkids there's a
lot of reasons why people buyand sell houses.
(21:20):
I think that, regardless ofwhether we're having the
conversation about real estateor whether it's about life I
heard a fascinating quote overthe weekend.
Jimmy Carr said this peopledon't want to live longer, they
want more memories.
And really, how do you makemore memories?
Well, it's doing novel,interesting things.
(21:42):
But again, the psychology thatwe have about life and what life
means, and time.
And so we don't crave time, wecrave meaningful time.
And so when people say theywish they had more time, you
know we crave meaningful time.
And so you know, when peoplesay they wish they had more time
, you know they don't usuallymean more hours at a desk or
more days in the routine.
(22:03):
They mean more moments thatmatter, you know, more belly
laughs, more sunsets, more hugs,more adventures, more firsts.
And that quote that Carr saidjust points out that what we're
really seeking is depth, notduration, and so our brain is
(22:23):
wired to encode new andemotionally charged experiences
more vividly than repetitiveones, and so that's why
childhood summers feel so longin the hindsight.
There were so many firsts.
As adults, our routines oftencompress our sense of time.
I've heard it said maybe take adifferent ride home from the
(22:45):
grocery store if you want timeto feel longer, because we tend
to drive the same way to work.
We tend to drive the same wayto church.
We tend to drive the same wayto church.
We tend to drive the same wayto.
You know the grocery store.
But you know you can change upyour experience by going a
different way, and that's whytraveling again we're so happy
(23:08):
for Mark and Paige to betraveling, because it's, you
know, new experiences.
It's a different routine, it'sa different, you know it creates
these memories and lastingmemories.
And so the other thing is tooliving fully is a choice.
The mindset shifts the focusfrom how long you'll live to how
(23:29):
awake you are while living.
You can live a life, a longlife full of forgetful days, or
a shorter life bursting withunforgettable moments.
And so you know, choose novelty, choose growth, choose
connection is like choosingcolor over grace scale.
(23:50):
So how do you create morememories?
Again, you can say yes to newexperiences.
Maybe it's something as smallas trying a new food or hobby.
Also, I'm a big advocate oftravel.
Maybe go get lunch at the nexttown over, do something
different, of course, be present, put the phone down and feel
(24:12):
the moment and then connectdeeply.
I mean great conversationsoften become core memories and
then finally challenge yourself,new accomplishments stick with
you.
So, again, it's this mindsetthat we have.
Again, the richness of ourmemories often spills into how
(24:32):
we're remembered by others.
So again, the quote reallystruck a chord with me.
People don't want to livelonger, they want more memories.
And so, you know, go dosomething different, do
something interesting, connectwith somebody, say hello, check
in, go try a different ride home.
Today, again, it's theseexperiences that we have that
(24:55):
create these memories in ourexperiences that we have.
So, again, so fascinating.
I enjoyed listening todifferent podcasts, reading
different books where I hearthese things.
But again, be kind to yourself,be grateful, practice gratitude
.
And again, we can't control thethings that happen to us, but
we can control our reaction andour response to it.
(25:17):
You know the thing is about thereal estate market.
You know the interest rates arethe interest rates, the prices
of homes are the prices of homesand really you know when people
are considering buying orselling real estate.
It's very rarely because of theprices of the homes or the
economy.
It's usually some catalyst,some life event and the thing is
(25:37):
you're in charge.
You get to decide what yourlife looks like.
You're in charge of what youwant to do with your life, where
you want to live, what you wantto be, what you want to
consider.
I also heard recently if you hadto decide between the 10
million beach house on the beachor and by the way, and it comes
(25:59):
with all the stresses of thatlife which you might not think
about because we all think about, oh, the 10 million beach house
sounds so great, but you don'trealize the burden that it
actually comes with Versus, ifyou were in an apartment with
all your bills paid, no debt,and again, if you had everything
(26:22):
you needed, and again living inan apartment but you were
fulfilled, you were happy Again.
If you had to really choosebetween those two things, I
think if we're honest withourselves, again it's not about
where we live, but it's aboutthe peace of mind that comes
with our life and what we'redoing with our lives, but the
internal gratitude, the internalhappiness that we can choose
(26:45):
and, again, deciding what we dowith our life and the impact,
and again, it's not.
You know, certainly our homesare so important, but again
there does we hear this, we livethis all the time.
We have the conversations wherethe home that was your dream,
the home that would brought somuch joy, you know, as life goes
on, the home in a lot of casesends up becoming a burden, and
(27:08):
it's.
And if you're at that point inyour life where the home is now
a burden, you know, to what endare you keeping the home?
To what end does it make sense?
Again, you get to decide whatyour life looks like, and it's
not about keeping up with theJoneses per se.
But again, if your home is nolonger serving you in the way
that you need it to, and if it'sbecome a burden versus the joy,
(27:31):
and at some point there's atipping point where, hey, it's
not worth it to keep the bighome anymore, we have those real
honest conversations and again,getting into a home that better
serves your needs, or maybegetting into a situation where,
hey, I want the freedom totravel, I want the freedom to go
enjoy my life, I want thefreedom to spend more time with
my grandchildren, I want thetime now.
(27:54):
Time is so important, but again, it's not about the time, it's
the quality of the time andmeaningful time.
And so, again, we all get todecide how we want to live our
lives.
And at some point, the homesagain, they might have
originally been such a joyfulblessing to your life, but at
(28:14):
some point maybe your home hasshifted into a burden.
And that's just being reallyreal and honest.
And again, there's no judgment.
We're just here to provideinformation and clarity.
Again, if you get to that pointand you're saying, hey, I need
to have an honest conversationwith myself, and part of that is
, you know, hey, having anhonest conversation about you
know, maybe I need to change myenvironment.
(28:34):
This is so interesting too.
Your environment impacts your.
Well, we know this.
Maybe we're not conscious ofthis, but your environment
impacts your world so much, somuch so.
And so they, and there's somany studies on how our
environment impacts our lives.
And so, if your environment'snot supporting your life and
(28:55):
what you want your life to looklike, I mean, again, consider
what it looks like to changewhat your environment looks like
.
And again, these are just somecandid conversations, of course,
with the care and concern thatwe have and we're grateful.

If the story I shared with youstopped you in your tracks,
(29:59):
you're not alone.
People have been asking whathappened next.
Dr Robbins car had plunged intoa freezing river and as a
teenager, underwater anddisoriented, she remembered her
survival tip blow bubbles andfollow them.
They will rise to the surface.
She did, but when she reachedthe top, expecting air, she
(30:22):
slammed into solid ice, out ofbreath and nearly out of
strength.
She kept moving, desperatelysearching for a break, and just
when she thought she couldn't goon, a stranger appeared and
pulled her to safety.
It's a powerful reminder we cando hard things, but we don't
